I found a GunCon 1 and 2 for $3 each at Goodwill. Good thing I still have an old TV that I can use them with. I always find controllers at Goodwill, I have found a few official PS2 and original Xbox controllers as well. I believe those were $3 as well. Last time I looked on eBay, official controllers were selling for like $10 or more.

I got it at Bull Moose in Salem. It was actually $6 but when you do business there you build up half off credit so I got it half off. I do not normally like vs fighters but I used to play some SS at a local bowling alley in Texas and it is pretty fun. The characters are just so over the top. :D

Videogame find at goodwill for the first time. A crappy one. Apparently they charge $5.05 for basically all games. So they had about 10 crappy genesis sports games. . . for $5.05. They had a few other games, I ended up buying James Pond 2. Then when I went to check out they have the vhs/cassettes/cds. . . well on those shelves they had saturn games. Amazing. They all had their boxes but they were all missing the manuals (wtf?) except for midway arcade classics. So I bought it. I also picked up the Miami Vice and Ghostbusters soundtracks on cassette. I figure I will leave them on the seat of my car as a theft deterrent. Nobody is going to break into the car of a guy with a miami vice cassette.

I am still amazed at the rediculous prices on a lot of the stuff at good will. How long do they want it sitting there? Seriously, who the fuck is going to pay $80 $80 fucking dollars for a 12" square lcd monitor with no guarantee. You can buy a 19" from bestbuy for $99 with a 1 year warranty.

I suppose this is a bit self-serving, but I threw up a video (a 3-part video... :lol: ) on my channel of a find of the century that my friends made. Atari 1200xl with disk drive, printer, "The Entertainer" pack, and the Microfiler application, all CIB and most minty mint. All that for 25 USD. Here's part one.
